Chesterfield Panthers RUFC

Chesterfield Panthers RUFC - MUGA

Derbyshire’s Panthers were established in 1919 as Chesterfield and District RUFC, attracting players from all over the area. Homeless until 1927, the club eventually settled at Stonegravels, where they were to play for the next 85 years.

During this time, the club enjoyed
increasing success, particularly during the 70s and 80s, resulting
in the expansion of first the junior teams and latterly, the
women's team.

This growth across all age groups
had led the club to seek new premises in order to accommodate a
congested fixture schedule and to modernise their ground. The
Panthers' commitment to the health of the community led them to
include a free-to-use MUGA as part of their new ground, that anyone
from the area (or beyond) could come and play on, regardless of
their affiliation with the club.

Viridor Credits was happy to
contribute to the project that will enhance the social and physical
well-being of this corner of Derbyshire.
